Such particulars as have as yet transpired, we shall give as circumstantially as possible.— A little before eight o'clock,.a gentleman on board a plea sure boat, which has been moored for some days back a short distance below Carlisle-bridge, and midway in the river, ascended the mast-head and placed on the spindle a small weathercock, representing the figure of Mercury resting on a shamrock ; from the figure flew two small streamers of orange ribbon; the figure itself was likewise painted of this colour, but whether intended as a party emblem or not, we are at present ignorant. However, it was so: construed by some persons who saw it placed on its elevated position, and stones were immediately thrown at the figure. We are sorry to observe, from the information we have received, that this' attack was commented by some respectable looking people.— In a very short • time great crowds were collected; both sides of the quay were lined with people, and from both sides, showers of stones were poured on the vessel. The attack was soon replied to by a discharge of musquetry, loaded with slugs or swan shot, from theboat. Several shots were fired, and we are sorry to add several persons were wounded, two or three rather severely about the face. Some of the shot entered the window of a house on 'Eden-quay, and wounded a woman. In the mean time intelligence of the disturbance had been sent to the Lord'Mayor, the She riffs, and the different police offices. Sheriff Moore and Sir Garrett Neville 'were quickly on the spot, and Mr. Farrell, Chief Peace Officer, with a strong party of po lice,. soon made his appearance. By this time the mob was increased to two or three thousand ; and we were sorry to observe that they were excited to continue the discharge of stones by persons, froni whose appearance we would not have expected (whatever might have been the original offence), that they would be seen urging -ti mob to take, the law into their own hands. The arrival of a strong detachment of the horse police succeeded, in sonic degree . „ In checking theirprOceedings ; and as soon as a boat could. be procured, the Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Moore, and Sir Garrett Neville, went on board the vessel. These magis trates caused the weather-cock, which had given rise to this disturbance, to be immediately removed, and took into c ustody the only two persons th ey f oun d on b oard ; vvitE. these therlauided-at the Custom -house stairs, While on, this service,. stones continued t o b e t h rown at the vessel, ' notwithstanding the exertions of the police; the Lord , Mayor received a blow of one on his head ; his lust fortu nately protected him from any serious injury. O n land ing the prisoners, it required the utmost exertions of the police, horse and foot, to protect them from th e f ury of the populace, 'who followed tlestemstouTpiest.o„ From theFr the lateness of the hour, andPolice office, crying' out, "get • st°i6 the aun realty of obtain i ng evi demo of the real origin of the disturbimee, no examina tions were entered into last night, beyond getting the ninic -street, who names of the parties in custody; one of these is .

RIVER BONY (COAST OF GUINEA), MARcH 26 . We ran down the coast of South Africa, as far north ward as the port of Loando St. Paul (Angola), the chief and northernmost of the Portuguese settlements,' and as certained the geographical site of the principal headlands, &c. We left Loando St. Paul on the 19th December last. This place, from the water, has an imposing aspect. Its fortifications are good, and the garrison has lately been improved, in order to oppose any attempt of the Brazilians. Among the Portuguese military are many who served in the Peninsular war, and in that school obtained a cha racter which did not previously belong to them. This ' port still sends vast numbers of slaves to South America; 24 vessels were lying here for cargoes of this commodity. Two of them sailed during our stay. On the 25th'December we arrived off the mouth of the Zaire, or Congo, but were unable to enter the river until the Ist January, 'on account of the strong outset of the current round the south entrance of.the river, though we were frequently favoured with powerful winds. On the above day, however, the tide, together with a strong breeze operating against the stream, enabled us to run up as far as convenient, and we anchored off Sherwood's Creek, in about the Congo's seco n d anc h orage o n her ascent up the river; and very near where the indefatigable Professor Smith, who died in the Congo expedition, was interred. We were not high enough, or sufliciently near to Em bomma, to meet with any of our particular friends but the Chenoo Cangi; N. Toni, an old chief, well known in the vicinity of Tall trees, came on board, hearing from an in terpreter that some person was here who formerly served in the Congo. He knew me perfectly well, and he pro duced, with a variety of others, chiefly Portuguese, a cer tificate written and g i ven hi m b y t h e lamented Hawker, Lieutenant of the Congo. It was in a' very mutilated condition, and I renewed it for him in the former name, assigning the cause, &c. I made the Chenoo some small presents, in token of re m em b rance an d friendship, and he returned me a duck and somee - India corn. He staid on board till the vessel was getting under way, and on leaving, very narrowly escaped a serious accident from the capstan bars. As it happened, he was but slightly hurt. The immediate banks of the lower part of this river, being composed of thick forestS of mangroves, and other evergreens, are constantly in a state of luxuriance. At this season, the eleVated hills, which lie in the rear of these fo rests, axe clothed with lively green; though later in the year, they appear parched and stony. The rise of the river, and the velocity of the current, were not so consi derable as I was induced to expect: the natives say, there has been no material rain for three years: a similar com plaint was made at Benguilla and Loando St. Paul. The extreme rate of current in the most open part of the ri ver might amount to or 6 miles p er hour. At anchor in the unexposed places we found it four and a half at its maximum. The deep channel or gully which renders this river so remarkable, is very contracted, but we were unable to obtain bottom by sounding, owing either to its extreme depth, or to the effect of the stream. The water of the river is much purer at this, than at the'opposite season; it Was found perfectly , fresh in veins for some considerable distance without the, points which form the river's entrance. • The Barometer,. during our s fq, rwgud betw een 30. 20. and 30. 5 2..rbiit eivas generally quiescent at about 30.'30.; temperature of the atmosphere 8.5..5. to 79., the river 80., with little variation. .We left the Zaire on the sth of January, and proceeded northward down the coast. I parted from it w i t h extreme regret, for notwithstanding every object recalled painful recollections, it is, and has long been, my chief wish to be employed in a second attempt to discover the source of this mysterious stream. . On the 7th we reached Cabenda, a convenient little by-way much frequented by the Portuguese and Spanish slave traders, who are in the custom of sending their boats up the Zaire and along the coast to trade, while they re main here. It supplies stock, but is somewhat high. Between Cabenda and Cape Lopez, a number of small places occur, where both ivory and slaves are purchased. The principaA town at Cape Lopez is the largest and most compact we have yet observed among, the native settlements. It is a place of 'Very considerable trade, and its commodities are more plentiful and varied than else where, southward: The Fetish juggelry exists beie in all its absurdity, and an' exhibition which occurred during our stay afforded much amusement to some of our party; it was quite equal to any thing Punch and Judy could have done. Cape Lopez has been very variously and erroneously placed and given in the c h arts an d nav i gat i on , books; its error in latitude is particularly surprising its true posi tion is 37m. south latitude, and 8. 36. east of Oreenwieh. It is a spacious, but an intricate kind of Bay, must be na vigated with caution, and approached with attention. The country is extremely woody tow ar d s the s ea , b u t beyond' there it is open and'affords fine pasturage to munerous' herds of wild bullocks, one of which our people succeeded in killing. On the 30th of January, we, entered the river Gabon, which runs through the most pleasant and fertile country we have yet witnessed. The natives are somewhat civilised ; are well acquainted with the principles of trade ; fair in their dealings, and may be visited on shore with unreserved confidence. A small Bristol brigantin e was here loading with ebony, wax, and'ivory. Continuing along the coast front the Gabon, we sur veyed the large incrustation between Cape Estiras and Cape St. John, called Coriscq Bay; this place, f or its in tricaey, re sem bl es Lopez Bay Ithe people of the islands are friendly; those of the Main appear shy and fearful. Having completed the coast up to the river Cameroons, we stood over to the island Fernando Po to water; this place seems to contain a race of the most complete savages now in existence—shy and reserved, as well as very suspi cious. We procured from them s large s u ppl y of vege. tables (yams), and this seems to be their only saleable com modity. Cloth, beads, &c. so much in esteem on the adjacent coast, are here despised, and nothing is acceptable but knives, or pieces of iron for making them, We have been off the Bony now several dayS, and have nearly, completely the survey of its entrance, there a re about twenty v esse l s ,. c hiefly English, waiting for cargoes. Palm oil seems here the staple commodity, if we except the slaves. These, it appears, are exported to a very con iiiderable amount. Several SP4 ll tigh, and French vessels of are now l a yi ng h ere f or cargoes Slaves. After leaving this river we proceed to the Benin, and thence back war d down the coast to the Old Calabar, being obliged to adopt this plain op account of the winds. This interval of coast being c omp l eted, we proceed to Sierra 'Leone for orders. lam sorry that I 'am prevented from giving you a more detailed account.

We stated in our last that a. meeting was about to be held in Carlisle on the subject of a threatened withdrawal of the circulation of Scotch notes from this district. At that time very little was-known on the matter, but since then, Sir James Graham,' B ar t. M. P. f or C ar li s l e , h as vi sited Scotland for the purpose of obtaining . information; and the result of the Honourable Baronet's inquiries was communicated to a meeting held at the Coffee-house, on Thursday afternoon. It appears that in consequence of the intimation in the Report of the Parliamentary Com mittees on the Scotch banking system, that a general law for the suppression of 'small notes was inevitable, unless their circulation in England could he pre vented, strengthened also by some. communications with personages high in office, the Scotch bankers lately held a meeting s and unanimously agreed to with draw all their agencies and commissions from the north of England;. and they have already given 'private notice t o _ that effect, and con t em pl a t e d the carrying of their resolu tion into speedy operation, - , Sir James'a inquiries Were di rected to ascertain if the Scotch bankers were willing to continue their business upon its old footing, provided the coneurrenet of Ministers could be assured, and the reply Was in the affirmative. The meeting of Thursday there. fore adopted two memorials • one to 'the Lords of the Treasury; 'the other to Scotch bankers, therein setting forth the vast importance of the Scotch me-pound Bank notes to the agriculture, trade, and manufactures of the north of England : and requesting at least a suspension of present intentions, as a sudden change would be absolutely ruinous, there being no visible means of supplying the defi ciency in the circulating medium which a hasty retirement of the small Scotch notes would occasion, amounting, it is j calculated, to more than two-thirds of our regular circula tion, besides being the main-stay of the cattle-trade in the northern counties, Previous to this meeting, a requi sition for a general meeting had been forwarded from the southern part of the county, and the northern part of Westmorland, signed by Sir P. Musgrave and other influ ential persons in that quarter, with a request that the in habitants 'of Carlisle would sign it and co-operate. But as the gentlemen who met at the coffee-house thought a public discussion on such a question likely to prove disad vantageous, the memorials were forwarded to the south for the concurrence of that district, and another meeting is to take plaCe at 'the coffee-house, on Thursday, to receive a n answer, and despatch the memorials to their destina tion. We hope and trust than the hasty measures con templated by the Scotch bankers may be averted, and we have no objection to hazard a'prediction, that the Bill of last Session will be considerably modified in the next, for that it is defective is admitted on all sides, except at the Bunk of England. Certainly the English bankers are quite as much entitled to a Committee es the Scotch, and we dare say have an equally strong case to offer.—en dish- Patriot. --- DEATH OF EARL GREY'S SON,-- - -The family of Earl Grey have been thrown into considerable affliction in con. sequence of the rather sudden death of the 'Hon: Thomas Grey, h►s Lordship's fifth son. The youth was just turned fourteen years of age, and possessed most promising abilities. He had been educated at Ripon in York Shire ; but was recently removed to Leeds, or its neighbourhood. About eight or ten days since, he was playing with other youths, end had neglected, as older people frequently but dangerously do when the sun is strong, to wear my hat or covering to the head. The excessive heat, in consequence seriously and very peculiarly affected him, and brought ,on brain fever. His father was sent for, who, indeed was in the North, looking on, if not engaged in, the electioneering bustle in Northumberland. His Lordship lost no time in proceeding to the youth ; but so high was the fever that the son knew not his ilither nor any person about him, till a short time before his death, which happened on the fourth day of his•iinese,. About an hour previously to death he recognised Earl Grey, and immediately inquired very anxiously about his mother and sisters ; and in about half an hour after the conversation he expired, on the fitli instant. The Countess Grey and her daughters were in town, but they immediately, left- London for his Lordship's residence, Howick House, in Northumberland. Though his Lordship has a very large . family (fourteen sous and daughters) this is the first. death that has occurred amongst his children The Hon. Thomas Grey, we believe, was educating for the Bar. LOVE AND MURDER.—About ten months ago, a double marriage was concluded at Veigneuz, between the fa milies of Dumoulin and Briant; John Dumoulin having married Maria Briluit, and John Briant having married Sophia Dumoulin. In the month of November last, at nine o'clock in the evening John Briant, in returning from the house of the widow Dumoulin, his mother-in-law, was assassinated. His body was found on the following day, and suspicion fell upon a man named Docettl, who had loug lived as a servant with the Dumoulin family, and was +inspected of an improper intimacy with Sophia Duman, since her marriage with the deceased. A variety of circum stances transpired to implicate Docenis, among other things, it was proved, that he had said, immediately after the murder, "I, have' just done a thing which I never did before, :and can never do again 1" but the most conclusive evidence. was that of a poor beggar and half idiot, named. Colas, who, having no asylum, wanders about the fields. After, maintaining silence for a long time, Colas said, that on the night of the murder, he was lying in a ditch near where the body was found, when he heard the prisoner say to Briant, " It is here that you must die, for you have robbed me of my wife," After this dialogue, the witness declared that he saw the prisoner fall upon the deceased, who cried out for help. This evidence made a great impression, and a majority of the ,Jury returned a verdict of Guilty; but the Judges having some doubt of it, joined them selves to the minority, mid thus acquitted the prisoner. Doceul was fast asleep when the verdict of acquittal was pronounced. He was awakened by force, and apprized of it. JUDGES IN THE TIME OF HENRY Vl.—The fol. loWing delleription' of the Judges in the time of Henry VI. is from an old translation of Fortescue, in praise of the Laws of England :—" Furthermore, I would ye should know, that the lustims of Englande sit not in the King's Court above three limns in a day, that is to say, from eight of the clock in the forenoon(' till eleven complete, for in the afternoones those Ctiurtes are not - • - . . . holds or kept. But the suters then resort to the perusing of their writtings, anti elsewhere consulting with the Sergeants at Law and other their Consaylors. Wherefore the Justices, after they have taken their refection, doe passe and bestow all the re. sidue of the day in the study of the hives; in rending of holy scripture, and using other kind of conteniplations at their plea. sure, so that their life may menu) more contemplative than active. And thus doe they lead a quiet life, discharged of all worldly cares and troubles: and it bath never been corrupt with gifts or bribes. Whereupon we have seen this kitule of grace following, that skant any of them dieth without issue, which unto just men and peculiar blessing of God, and in mine n th ‘ t i t t lin a l n i ( n i eptlacny,o haveut of o is p a in t iot tl it l i o s f t th o e be g j re u,l i ged ib i r lo iii i i i s t in e tt , ll a i n m d in l t io o l f lo t t i l l r e . bo y ur e ii, , fa t l ii g o o u od netts of God, that mit of the generation of bulges th ere h av t, hitherto merchants surmount the numbers of Judges by many tat a his i o y ,itsir o : il te l ds s i, r i s oi:o p s ; t ru a r t7 es of: l n iv ie n t il e l l , i ,st i a ic ks h, a b n y d t P h l eir r' o o w f of just men,. saith, b e i n g men of such singular wealth, that among them commonly there bee ninth, as one of them in riches passeth all the Justices of the recline.

CURIOUS OCCURRENCE AT CANTON. A very singular scene has lately been transacted at Canton, of Which the following is a brief trade : The Europeans at Canton having long had to complain of the very gross exactions made upon them, in going and coming-between Macao and Canton, determined to peti tion the Viceroy on the subject; but apprehending that the Security Merchants, through whom such petitions should be presented, were interested in continuing the ex action, they resolved to present the petition themselves. They accordingly proceeded to the gate of Canton, and reioliitely remained, until a Chinese Officer received the petition, under promifie of its being laid before the Vice roy. After eighteen - days delay no answer being returned, the foreigners, thirty-seven in number, determined again to petition, i proceeding to the gate, found it open, rushed our ediii. agan S i eeing a large conspicuous re ga l-lik e h ' ois l e a,tndel a immediately entered in a body npt doubting it was the Viceroy's Palace. They found however that it wa4-4 Joss-house: but observing a soldier running out, upon their, storming, they conjectured hk would wing his flight to die Palace, and accordingly they pursued him until lie reached a great house with many guards, and other appurtenances of royalty. Here, however, they were again deceived ; they had got into the house of the Commandant of the city, and even into the apartments of the ladies, who, it may well be believed, were not a little alarmed at the visit. It wag . now impossible to get out : and here the party took their ground, resolutely demanding that their petition should be received; and refusing ither by threats or intreati es , t o l eave t h e c i ty . Th e resu l t was, that they carried the day, as wdl as the place, and receiv-' ed an assurance from . the Security Merchants, that the Chop (or licence) should no longer be levied on them, or if deinanded by the Hoppo, should be paid by the Security' Merchants I The p ar ty ;hen offered like well-bred Euro peans, to apologize to the: Counnandant for their unman nerly intrusion into his house—an offer gladly accepted of ; and when brought out to be cond uc t e d b eyon d t h e City pine, the farce of looking mightily big was played otiby the Mandarins quite in the Chiuese style -7—the most pompous language and most angry gesticulations affected--and one of the foreigners suddenly subjected to the speaker's hand being drawn across his neck, to signify, that if found there again, they would lose their heads I--an indignity, which the foreigner fortunately took in good part—and in perfect keeping with the whole picture, repeated upon the Lin guist, in a stile of excellent effect and humour. The foreigners then moved off, and arrived at the city gates through a long and dense lane of soldiery and populace. At Seven in the evening they readied their factories in safety. Two days afterwards, they were given to under- Stand by the Security Merchants,, that the Viceroy wa exceedingly shocked and exasperated at what had occur red, and that to prevent a recurrence of "• so disgraceful a procedure," the city guard had been doubled, and received the strictest orders to put every foreigner to death who should be caught within the. gates. Three verbose and lengthy proclamations were then issued by the Viceroy. The first reminded the Security Merchants of themselves being the authors of all that had happened, and admonish ed them to " change their faces, and wash their hearts," on pain of suffering with their . lives. The second par doned the merchants, as they " showed signs of fear and contrition, and begged for indulgence ;" and the third, after alluding to the inconvenience of foreigners " loiter ing" about Canton, allowed them to hire chops for fast boats at a reduced rate, "ua a mark of compassion." So ended this strange affair, INSOLVENT. DEBTORS. PETITIONS To be heard in Portugal-street, LONnoN, WIDNitiDAY, the 19th. E. Coody, Charles -street, Sheerness, Kent, dealer in coals. R.
